About Lene

Richmond locals point to this snug Bridge Road room for high-flavor shared plates without an ounce of pretense. A compact crew runs the kitchen, turning out a tight, ever-changing lineup to an enviable vinyl soundtrack. regulars lean into raw bluefin tuna spooned over crisp rösti with caviar, followed by charred mussel flatbread spiked with lemon and chili. The kitchen sears off a 300g wagyu porterhouse dressed in savory uni miso butter, while pillowy ravioli al uovo spills rich egg yolk across sage. Drinks lean just as focused—think a mandarin Tom Collins or a lavender gin sour built with syrup simmered down from the chef's personal patch.

  • Dynamic Seasonal Menu: A rotating share menu driven by a compact kitchen team turning out inventive plates.
  • Signature Wagyu Porterhouse: A 300g cut served tender alongside rich, umami-packed uni miso butter.

  • Cosy Atmosphere: An intimate neighborhood room soundtracked by killer music selections and warm, low-key service.

    The beverage program highlights bespoke syrups, crafted infusions, and hyper-local botanicals such as home-grown lavender.

    Really great cocktails, all house made, even the garnishes and the syrups(?).

  • Lavender Gin Sour

    Got the french martini and then the lavender gin sour… apparently the lavender gin (or was it the syrup) was made from the chef’s lavender patch
